As a girl standing at 6'2", I don't think I could count on my hands and feet how many remarks I get about being tall. It doesn't matter where I am, who says it, or if it's appropriate or not – as soon as I walk outside my room I know I'll get some sort of comment on my height. Whether you're a boy or a girl, if you're tall then you've most likely heard something along these lines.

1. "Oh my god, you're SO tall!

Thank you, random person. All my life I thought I was short! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come to this realization.

2. "How tall are you?!!"

I don't know, how short are you?!!

3. "Do you play basketball?"

I've never played a sport in my life, nor do I have the coordination to play any. Nice try though.

4. "You should be a model!"

I'm flattered, really, thank you for boosting my self-esteem. However, just because I'm tall does not mean I am fit to be a model.

5. Random people feeling the need to tell you about their tall friend/relative/coworker.

I honestly don't care about your son's best friend, your nephew, or coworker's daughter, but I'll stand here and pretend like I do to be polite.

6. "How's the weather up there?"

LOL, wow I've never heard that one before!!! You're so funny and completely original!

7. "Why don't you like being tall?"

I mean, besides the fact I have to buy all my pants and shoes online to ensure a size that fits and being taller than every attractive boy I see, it's a blast! Seriously! Love it!

8. "You're blocking the view."

Uhm, I am the view.

9. "You can so wear heels!"

Please, stop lying to yourself.

10. "Normally I'm the tall one, you make me feel so short!"

Not to be rude, but you must have friends all under 5'5" because you're not really that tall.

11. "You gotta find yourself a nice, tall basketball player or something."

Are you sure they exist? Cause I can't seem to find any.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
